Landay said today’s FMS customers want their goods and services as quickly as possible—often to support current operations—while still getting the best deal possible.

DSCA is also exploring having stocks on hand of some of the highest-in-demand FMS items, such as night-vision devices, body armor, and radios, so that the agency can make deliveries quickly when formal requests come in.
